CVE-2022-0010 — Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability in ABB QCS 800xA, ABB QCS AC450, ABB Platform Engineering Tools

High CVSS 7.8

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability in ABB QCS 800xA, ABB QCS AC450, ABB Platform Engineering Tools. An attacker, who already has local access to the QCS nodes, could successfully obtain the password for a system user account. Using this information, the attacker could have the potential to exploit this vulnerability to gain control of system nodes. This issue affects QCS 800xA: from 1.0;0 through 6.1SP2; QCS AC450: from 1.0;0 through 5.1SP2; Platform Engineering Tools: from 1.0:0 through 2.3.0.

Matched remediation archetype

Information disclosure and sensitive data exposure

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace sensitive data through responses, errors, logs, metrics, traces, caches, exports, files, backups, and client bundles.
  • Identify affected subjects, tenants, retention windows, access controls, and downstream copies without opening unnecessary sensitive records.
  • Review metadata, timing, status, length, and existence signals as well as direct content disclosure.

Remediate safely

  • Minimize collection and output, apply field-level authorization and redaction at a centralized boundary, and return generic external errors.
  • Remove secrets and sensitive data from logs, artifacts, URLs, caches, and client-side bundles; rotate credentials that may have been exposed.
  • Update the affected component and add synthetic-data tests for response, error, observability, and export paths.
